New Bin Laden caves just dropped.

I like that the entrance to the factory still has CCCP emblems
Fucking hell "perhaps the only way to clear the place out would be to use a chemical weapon, or chlorine gas". Time to do a false flag and sacrifice some Ukrainian nazis for NATO y'all...
Oh, suddenly the Nazis don't like gassing people when they're the ones being gassed.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a bunch of western intelligence officers stuck down there after their exfiltration flight got borked. So NATO not super keen on that, though they might do it to avoid a cold war-style embarrassing spy trade.
The plant was built by the Soviets and the Russians already hold the civil administrative centers of Mariupol. Pretty safe bet that they already have a full set of plans.
Safe to bet that the Russians have had a copy of the plans since it was built.
humans will quite happily destroy the entire planet for a little more money today. of course they'll sell out a couple thousand Ukrainians for those extra ad dollars.
Looking forward to the Vice article titled "Russia needs only drop sarin in these 4 shafts to win Mariupol"
Can’t wait to hear about Putin liberating the mole children under Mariupol.
These Ukrainian Nazis are really starting to take the CHUD acronym a bit to literally
yeah designed againt airraids .. not "Barbaras Pool" ...
Love to have a several km square bunker that make NORAD Command look under-protected in limestone under the water table and then leave it unmaintained for 30 years with no ill effects.
(Seriously, it's probably a couple of reinforced bomb shelters and some unreinforced service tunnels.
There are a lot of reinforced interconnected bomb shelters, intended for workers and people living in nearby areas. It is really massive system designed to hold 50k people.
I've heard this, and I've also heard (supposedly via an ex-worker, though who the fuck knows anymore) that this is an exaggeration, that it was designed for 10k not 50k as reported, and they're minimally interconnected if at all.
Additionally, a temporary bomb shelter, even the well made Soviet ones, is not a defensive fortress. It's designed to keep civilians alive for a week or two until the worst fallout settles. All you've gotta do is find the vents and gunk up the scrubbers (which is, admittedly, arguably chemical warfare, though you'd probably have trouble claiming wood or petrol fire smoke is banned by the Hague conventions.)
What I want to see at this point is primary evidence, because I find the idea they have a better than Cheyenne-Mountain-grade nuclear defensive structure here as pictured to be moderately unlikely.
They lost me when they said they made tunnels to safeguard the employees.
What a benevolent government that must have been which cared for the well being of its workforce. I wonder what happened to it?
Amazon won't even make shelters to protect employees in fucking tornado alley and here's the former USSR making a proletariat wonder of the world for something far less likely
It's not unheard of. Unlike the US the Soviets built extensive bomb shelters for the civilian population.
Are there really no public bomb shelters in the US? Maybe i'm biased here because my country has so many shelters left that the nazis built during WW2, but there also was some building done during the Cold War. Underneath Cologne, there's vast caverns that can easily hold 100,000 people. I'd find it surprising if the US as one of the superpowers during the Cold War wouldn't have something similar, this stuff was so hyped during the mid 20th century, decades before Reaganomics destroyed the infrastructure everywhere in the West. I'd absolutely expect them to not be maintained at all, ofc, but i'd also expect there's something like this somewhere in the US, most likely also underneath industrial centers that would be critical for a war effort. Say, underneath Detroit or Chicago, where the US had its heavy industry centers back in the early 1960s.
I come across the bomb shelter logo ever now and then, usually around old asbestos filled school or decaying government buildings. The US has never been bombed so usually a "bomb shelter" is just the basement where they keep the hvac equipment. Otherwise they are flipped into airbnbs.

The DC subway was built to spec as a bomb shelter. That's why its buried a good fifty feet below ground.
I know there are a few other similar structures scattered through the US. I believe Houston has a couple of underground networks that were graded to be bomb-proof. But nothing remotely like what would be necessary to support a modern population that needed to retreat below ground.
Pretty much every Soviet factory had bomb shelters for its workers.
Meanwhile, my giant company stopped even doing safety drills years ago
But yes, they 'care'
Fill it with sand and some microphones. Wait a week or two and start negotiations when your mics pick up the desperate digging.
There is legitimately no reason to fight them. Occupy the area and they'll give away each entrance with guerilla activities, there is a finite number of entrances and they can't make new ones. Bury them all then siege.
Nah, go block by block dropping thermobaric grenades down every air shaft you find then welding the covers closed. If you do it right you'll burn out all the oxygen underground and/or fry anyone hiding down there.
You don't want that. You do not know what the hostage situation down there is and you want these people for trials and information that might lead to irrefutable evidence of heinous shit. Cutting a few deals with the prisoners you get is worth information on mass graves or direct orders from Ukraine that damns them. Then there's also the potential foreign agent situation which is extremely valuable for international negotiations and prisoner exchanges.
Huh. Just pump water from the azov sea down the tunnels to turn the azov battalion into fish food
"Damn, sure would be a shame if the air vents were all in documented locations"
it isn't just azov battalion there. there are normie ukrainians there as well
The alternative is fighting room to room with sub machine guns and grenades. Not an appealing choice.
lame base. all those crazy tunnels and stairs, but there's only room for like 8 dudes to chill and stare at each other or maybe play a medium-stakes game of "Who Farted?"
when i was like 8 years old and drew underground bases, there was like cool shit in them. like a submarine harbor, a rocket pod escape hatch, a train tunnel, ammo dumps, food, and a room with a big TV to play games.
